SULPHIDE. Figure is a bust of Kaiser Wilhelm I of Prussia/Germany. Above average detail to the figure. Shallow air bubble around the neck. Well centered. Good silvering. Surface has a number of very tiny chips and very tiny hit marks, and scratching. A buff or very light polish will reveal a beauty. Germany, circa 1860-1920. 1-5/8". Good (7.4). Note:Some collectors identify this bust as Franz Joseph of Austria, however it seems more likely that a German manufacturer would produce a bust of the German emperor not the Austrian emperor. Historical images of the two rulers show they are very similar, with the distinguishing feature being that Franz Joseph sideburns go much further down his cheeks than Kaiser Wilhelm I.
